The real names issue should only ban you from G+. That's it. There should not be any work done on your main account. Of course google's famous policy of no tech support contact is good at making sure disputing is as painful as possible.

Give em a laptop. Those are a dime a dozen (we got a ton sitting around the office). Have em code in front of you. Hell I'd install any interpreter within reason to let em solve it.

Boo: "Tablets are a different form factor and interface paradigm from the PC, so software made from the ground up for tablets is always going to be superior to software made for both." That's bullshit. That's like saying "mediocre software

See, I'd do this sort of thing for any image by opening up my wifi and waiting for people to connect. Then just ensure I serve rickroll pics/videos/flash videos/sound whenever appropriate content is requested.
